Charlie is just the best. "Snorin' Dora Institute"; "Talk is cheap, Ammunition is what, Charlie?" - "Provided by Norma"; "..., because even when bodies are done, I reuse them"; all his off the cuff quips are just so completely unhinged.

I feel like the question isn't COULD you survive a .50 wearing body armor...but after seeing what a 5.56 does to the body even when stopped by plates, the question becomes would you WANT to?

I get the curiosity over questions like this, but my feelings are that if I need any kind of armor to defeat a .50 bmg then I have made all the wrong choices in all the worst ways.

Please make sure Charlie is not left unattended around the ballistics dummies, for the safety of the dummies.

You would need the ridgidness of something exceptional for body armor and then about 10 foot of some crazy absorbative foam or material to absorb that absolutely terrifying energy

Charlie using the tactical rake to judge if the dummy was dead or not had me rolling 💀💀💀

can i just say i still LOVE the garand thumb "science" intro clip. its a hilarious vibe and it makes me smile every time. lol

5:22 Ok, you got me, I HOWLED XD You guys popped up via Reccomended, and I have to say it's both a hoot and mesmerising at the same time! Well done!

"Yeah he's fine" Charlie removes rib "He didn't need that one" 🤣🤣🤣

Mike and Charlie have such a unique and enchanting chemistry, I swear it has to frustrate other gun channels because it's so... Intangible but very present at the same time. Love you guys, keep doing what you're doing, I can't get enough.

In Warzone the satchel holds 8 but your actual armor is only 3 plates. The satchel is essentially a backpack for armor but you can only utilize 3 max.

You guys being so professional and so good at imitating the awkwardness of amateur videos really "blows" my mind 😊😇

Charlie is a treasure. We need to clone him for future generations

Science with grand thumb should be a series 😂 The intro is just perfect

This was really cool, thanks guys. I also think maybe brick walls, lots of dirt, dirt walls/dried mud walls (like the ones in afghanistan), trees, sheet metal & other types of metal, drywall, wood doors, car doors, tile, and woods of increased thickness could be tried next to really go in depth. Or other things we run into on a daily basis in our lives. I'm assuming a couch or a fridge wouldn't be temporary cover but you never know. Sometimes you can only do what you can with what you've got, or just decide you have no reasonable cover and you face it head on while moving. Shoot, move, communicate type of stuff. Tough decisions you make but you have to make them based off of what you know with the situation around you. Some forms of "cover" seem to only stop so many rounds (such as with the .50 cal) and it's pertinent for you to move and change position frequently if hiding behind that particular form of cover that could crumble quickly after a few rounds. I'm also curious how risky it is to have your head too close to the surface level of dirt (could be tested with a target backer like in this video), if being shot at and the round passes through the ground at a superficial level. Perhaps you're in the process of making that video or those videos though. Thanks again, this was really good work. I look forward to whats next

"If you're not fit, you're going to die" Words that have melted into my brain over the past 3 months. Thanks for the tough love Mike. Lost 30 pounds so far and look better than I ever have. 229 3 months ago to 198 this morning. More to come! 💪 keep up the videos brother!
